The kids don’t care if they’re turning marshmallow bunnies into playdough before or after Easter. They think it’s fun no matter what day of the year it is!

You can even do this with regular marshmallows but it’s a little bit more fun with Peeps bunnies or chicks!

Marshmallow Playdough Recipe Ingredients

Marshmallow Peep Bunnies (Any color of your choosing)

Flour

Crisco shortening

It’s true that you really only need three ingredients to make this playdough! You just might have the flour and shortening in your kitchen right now!

Since the only ingredients are the marshmallow candy, flour, and shortening, this is an edible playdough recipe. I don’t make any promises about how good it tastes, but it’s a recipe you can make and not have to worry about your kids trying it out!

STEP 5. Take the marshmallow playdough out off the bowl and start kneading it with your hands. If it’s too sticky, dust it with a bit of flour until the stickiness is gone.

STEP 6. Have fun playing with your Easter playdough!

To make different colored playdough, just repeat the steps of the Marshmallow Playdough Recipe for each color marshmallow bunnies you have!

If you store the Peeps Playdough in an airtight container, you should be able to keep it for up to a month or so. If it starts to harden, just put it back in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to soften it back up!

Using Peeps is a great way to give this playdough an Easter vibe but also makes for an affordable activity to do after the holiday too!

You don’t have to add any food coloring or anything to get the pretty colors when you use the Peeps bunnies or chicks!
